Zancanella Zancanella & Associates, Inc. i017 Grand Avenue Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 RE: Level Two Traffic Assessment RTZ Industftl Gravel Pit FHU Project No. 07 -097 Dear Mr. Zancanella: At your request, Feisburg Holt & Ullevig has prepared the following Level Two Traffic Assessment for the proposed RTZ Industrial Gravel Pit. This gravel pit will be located between Parachute and DeBeque on the west side of Garfield County Road (CR) 300 between State Highway (SH) 6 and the Colorado River (see Figure 1). The property Is currently undeveloped. SH 6 is under the Jurisdiction of the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) which has adopted the State H €ntim Access Code (SHAC), COOT Region 3 allows three different types of traffic impact analyses based on the amount of traffic generated by a proposed site. For development proposals that generate moderate volumes of traffic, a Level Two Traffic Assessment that analyzes potential trip generation and auxiliary lanes is required. The proposed RTZ industrial Gravel Pit will encompass 78 acres with an anticipated capacity of 600,000 yards of gravel. The proposed mining and extraction operations will produce approximately 150,00D tons per year over ten years. TRIP GENERATION Site generated traffic comprises only those trips originating or terminating within the proposed gravel pit. The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), Trip Generation Manual, Sixth Edition, 1997 does not contain trip generation rates for a gravel pit land use. Therefore, trip generation was estimated based on operational information provided by the applicant. For this analysis, it was estimated that trucks would carry an average of 20 tons per load, based on anticipated mix of tractor /trallers (5 -axle) and dump trucks tsingle -unit, 3- axle). This translates Into 7,500 total truck loads per year or 15,000 total truck trips (in and out) per year. There would be an average of approximately 26 loads per day on a 286 -day work year. The plant would have three full time employees throughout the year, with one additional employee working during the peal[ seasons, There would be an average of two servicelmaintenance vehicles coming on site each day. This would increase by one vehicle during the peak season. Table Z summarizes the average annual and average daily loads and visits per year from the site at full production for gravel trucks, full -time employees. and service - maintenance vehicles. 6300 Suutli Syt-�cttse W;iy-, Stiicc OOO CencenniaL CO 80111 cel 303.721.1440 t'ax 30.3.7?1.b832 ttinvkv.11)uenaxom infv@fiiue g.cotn August 14, 2007 Mr. Thomas A.

Anticipated production by quarter is shown in Table 2, along with the corresponding number of daily vehicle trips for each period. The §t& Highway.ALC 15COde requires that trucks over 40 feet in length be accounted For as the equivalent of three (3) passenger cars. The total traffic column showing equivalent passenger cars in Table 2 reflects this equivalency. Peak production would occur from May through July, with 35 percent of the annual output. To present a conservative analysis, It was assumed that one additional employee would be needed for crushing, screening and reclaim operations during the peak summer season. 98- sled on these assumptions, on a typical day during the peal[ season, the site would generate approximately 60 vehicle trips. Thus, average conditions are approximately 89 percent of the peak season. Table 2. Annual Production and Daily Trip Generation by Quarter `� rime aft n � Workrn a' a 'e- g.

Zancanella Page 3 Table 3 shows the distribution of the vehicle trips and equivalent passenger car movements throughout the day, The hourly distribution is based on conversations with the plant manager at a concrete and gravel plant west of the City of Longmont. Approximately nine vehicle trips (25 equivalent passenger cars) would occur during the AM peak hour of adjacent road traffic (CR 300), and approximately seven vehicle trips (19 equivalent car movements) would occur during the PM peak hour.

This is between the limits of 10 to 99 vehicles per hour established by CDOT Region 3 for a Level Two Traffic Assessment. TRIP DISTRIBUTION It is estimated that the directional distribution of all traffic will be: 55% to and from the east on SH 6 which is the direction of Parachute, + 35% to and from the west on SH 6 which Is the direction of DeBeque, and • 10% to and from the south on CR 300 crossing the Una bridge over the Colorado River. This pattern is shown on Figure 2 along with the morning and evening peak hour VOW mes that would be generated by the proposed development and would use SH 6. Figure 2 shows modest traffic volumes for proposed RTZ Industrial Graves Pit operations. The maximum westbound left - turn volume from SH 6 onto CR 30 to access the site is 7 equivalent passenger cars per hour for anticipated operations. August 14, 2007 Mr. Thomas A. Zancanella Page 4 BACKGROUND TRAFFIC GROWTH Current daily traffic volumes on SH 6 and CR 300 (see f=igure 3) were obtained from the CDOT website, 2006 State Highway Traffic Statistics and the Garfield County website, respectively. The current volumes are relatively modest at 1,300 vehicles per day (vpd) on SH S and 250 vpd on CR 300. According to 2006 State Highway Traffic Statistics, the peak hour represents 8% of the daily volume, and a Nearby section shows approximately 551/6 of the peak hour travels in the heavier direction. Thus, more traffic is directed toward the east (Parachute) in the AM peak hour, For the PM peals hour, the traffic is heavier in the westbound direction (to DeBeque). It was assumed that the rate of growth in background (unrelated to the site) traffic volumes on SH 6 over the next 20 years would be a factor of 1.98, which was also obtained from the CDOT website. Future background traffic volumes that are likely to occur in 2027 are also shown on Figure 3. TOTAL. TRAFFIC Figure 4 was prepared to show the current and future design peak hour traiio volumes that were forecasted at the access paint of the site and at the intersection of the adjacent roadway. This is the sum of background and site- ganerated traffic, Trucks related to the gravel pit have been converted to equivalent passenger cars (as calculated In Table 3). The traffic forecasts show that westbound left turns from SH 6 to CR 300 would increase fr om 13 equivalent passenger cars per hour (epcph) to 19 epcph in 2027. The corresponding number of right-turning vehicles from eastbound SH 6 to CR 300 would increase from 9 epcph to 13 epcph. SH 6 has a FR (frontage road) category access according to the State Highway Access Category Assignment Schedule. Comparisons with the guidelines for the frR category show that a westbound left turn lane will be needed on SH 6 at CR 300 for the site to access the highway. The westbound left turn criterion for a deceleration lane is more than 10 vehicles per hour (vph). Based on the assumption that SH 6 has a 65 mph speed limit through this section, the deceleration lane should have a length of 800 feet (which Includes a transition taper at a ratio of 25:1). No storage Is required. Assuming that the left turn lane would be centered on the existing highway, the redirect taper (65:1 ratio) would be 620 feet to create the additional 16 feet In the median. A second redirect taper will be necessary an the west leg of the Intersection. Eastbound right turn deceleration lane criterion for category FR requires more than 25 vehicles per hour (vph). Since the right turn volume is 13 epcph In the future, this type of auxiliary lane is not required. Similarly, the criterion for an eastbound right turn acceleration lane (50 vph) would not be met. The forecasted right - taming volume is 20 vph. NEARBY ACCESS ON SH 8 & 24 CDOT Reglvn Ts guidance for a Level Two Traffic Assessment requests information about nearby existing access points within 1000 feet. A review of recent aerial photography reveals that the only access within 1 ,400 feet of the SH 61CR 304 intersection Is the north leg of the Intersection which appears to be a driveway to an unrelated business August 14, 2007 Mr. Thomas A.
